Skull faced man

[Enjoi.]

Does end really always justify the mean, Nicolo? Then ask your mother would she choose her life or yours, no matter of her desire for life. How about your children, would you kill them also? Could you live with that?

I know what my mother would choose, she would choose to have herself killed. I wouldn't want her to do that. People should live to better themselves, not others. I have no children and i don't plan on having any. If i did i might kill them if i was in that situation. I don't mean to sound bad, these are my moral values and how i value my life. I could live with myself. I would go on to the next day without a second thought.

When winston is captured and placed in containment, another man enters the room and hee notices that the man is dying of starvation. After the beating of the chinless man, the officer walks in and signals for the skull faced man to be brought to room 101. As he begs not to be dragged there, he offers to turn in his family, have there throats cut, and he would stand by and watch.

Why would he offer to have his family killed instead of him? Does room 101 have that big of an impact on society?

well in room 101 they use thier deepest fears... and to them this has never been presented to them in such a strenuous enviroment due to the inevitable day-to-day brainwashing so put in a tiny room with your worse fear would defineatley have that much of an impact......(hope this helps)

^ Yes, it is true that you are entitled to your own opinions and morals, HOWEVER, I think you are looking at it too black and white. Now, I don't know anything about you, so I am just making assumptions, but I'm assuming you don't have children. The love and bond between a parent and a child is the strongest bond humans can enter. I dont believe that you would really put yourself before your own child, but again, that is just my assumption

Methinks you don't understand phobias at all.

In that situation, Winston's mind is not working rationally at all. A person would sell their children, their parents, anyone, rather than face their Room 101 - in the circumstances of 1984.
